Everyone bringing their required donations will receive an official “Cowboy Capital MS Trail Ride” t-shirt and an exciting goody bag.
You may ride as an individual or as a team of three (3) or more team members. Each team member is responsible for raising his/her money and turning it in at registration. Individuals who raise the most money are eligible for a prize (1st, 2nd and 3rd place). Plus, teams will be eligible to receive a trophy for Most Money Raised, Largest Team and Most Spirited Team.
The Cowboy Capital MS Trail Ride is a beautiful, scenic ride on the 2,000 acre Blue Stem Ranch, about 2.5 miles west of Morgan Mill, TX. (see map below). The ranch provides the perfect place for the trail ride with its varied terrain and ample parking at the camp site for your vehicles and trailers. We have local paramedics that join us for the ride each year to make sure everyone has a fun, safe ride.
We were the first trail ride in the nation to be sanctioned by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as an official National Multiple Sclerosis fund raiser.
